    “Liquidated with bullets”?

    Do they mean sprayed with? Is this an AI fuck up or just an expression I’ve never heard?

      Xitter blue check with an emphasis on being anonymous. All signs point to AI bot slop.

        It’s a pretty popular page. Think they run the one on bsky too.

        I get the impression they aren’t native English speakers though.

          I couldn’t find them on Bluesky, but I’m not sure what their @ is there. If you know it please let me know, I’m curious to see if they’re on any of the inauthentic user block lists I use.

          And to be honest the use of ‘liquidated’ was like, third on the list for me for why they struck me as likely a bot (Xitter blue check user and the anonymous thing being the first two).

        Huh, it was a euphemism for so long its actually part of the definition now.

        I’m fairly sure it comes from basically financial liquidation / liquid assets.

        In the latter stages of a bankruptcy, you often sell off a bunch of assets to get as much liquid cash as possible to pay out as much as you can.

        So, if you torture that meaning a bit… you liquidate a person who hasn’t paid their debts to the mob or w/e, as a way of permanently settling their accounts.

        This guy is arguably stretching the definition / euphemism a bit further… but hey, maybe if that dealership’s financials actually can’t handle that level of property damage, they may actually go bankrupt and financially liquidate.

    The note was on a dealership/showroom in New York, not at the one in Oregon btw, a lot of people are claiming they were at the same place

      Thank you. This is why social media is not journalism, even (especially?) when it’s saying what you already want to hear.

    Well, the “free speech absolutist” should be fine with this right? It’s definitely an expressive act.

    As long as the people working there were not harmed I don’t really see an issue.

      Nope, not on this instance. No rules against advocating for violence. One of the great things about anarchy. I can say the following:

      Kill Nazis, put a bullet through their head and spit on their corpses. It’s everyone’s duty to kill their local Nazi, and in particular I think it would be great if somebody killed Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and any other fascist in government today.

      Social media has trained us to self-censor to maintain a platform of speech online. Fuck the rules made by Capitalists.
